Danish, Flour Bag Seal, Aarhus Mill

Flour Bag Seal, Danish, Aarhus Mill, Image & Found by Susanna Johnson.
Found in Newcastle upon Tyne, 18mm.

..ARHU..S curving down / MÖLLE // FLOR / MEEL

A Danish flour bag seal.

From Paul Cannon, "I wonder if this seal reads “AARHUUS MÖLLE”. Aarhus is Denmark’s second city. Mölle contains the letter ö which is not currently used in Danish. I read that in Danish and Norwegian, ö was previously used in place of ø, in older texts. The current spelling of the Danish word for mill is mølle. If my reading of Aarhuus is correct it may be an older way of spelling the placename. The following links to a history of Aarhus Mill."
